We are finally home!

Wow! Has it really been two months? I know it's been awful quiet around here (Aidan sent me an email saying, and I quote, "You need to update your blog, you're beginning to look pathetic!"). Thanks dear. So here I am, finally!

We've been very busy around here, after two big moves we are finally home!!!


I think that was one of Aidan's happiest moments, pulling that sign out of the ground. I think Maeghan's favorite moment was the "loud" party we had on the first day. We let the kids scream as loud as they wanted for as long as they wanted! It felt so good after years of constantly shushing them. Now we can let them be kids. It's awesome!

Notice the lovely brown carpets.......or actually, try not to!

I swear there is nothing more attractive than a man who'll clean the toilets.

The first major renovation was a new roof, hopefully the roofers will be done by tomorrow. The big bin finally left today. I can park in my garage again! That is a novelty in itself! A garage! The only other work going on right now is renovating the kids bedrooms. Here is Maeghan painting her room. She chose the color and I think it will be very pretty when it is done. I will do a before and after post when everything is complete.

Last night we had our first fire! I know, in the middle of July. It's been cold this week and we've shut the heat off until fall. Boy was this a long time in coming. When we purchased our townhouse 5 years ago, one of the selling features was that it had a wood burning fireplace, however, we were never able to use it due to the chimney not being safe and the long drawn out process of the Strata figuring out whether they would pay, or if we had to, to get it fixed. As soon as that fire was lit the whole atmosphere of the evening changed. It was lovely! And the best part? We actually have TWO wood burning fireplaces in this house. I can't wait till winter!
